Seniors with the trophy

2007 Class 2A State Champions

You want to hear a little interesting fact? We won the class 2A championship, but we beat the 1A champion, the 3A champion,and the 6A Champion! We beat a team in the 4A finals but they lost. We did lose to the 5A champion, Winter Haven, by 3 points!!! We thought that was kind of cool! :)

We Won today 65 to 30 so that means we're going to the State Championship Game!!!! :)I've taken about 100 pictures and videos in the 1 day that we were gone, so I'll just tell you about it through pictures! We had so much fun in just 1 night, seriously I could post about 20 pictures that all have funny stories behind them, but I'll spare you and only post a few:)

Wednesday when we got to school the halls had been decorated with streamers and pictures and posters! They've never done that before so it was really neat.

This was my favorite poster :)It says 'Lakeland' but the E and the A kind of starting to fall off.

We left school at 12:30 and got on the bus to go down to Lakeland. We practiced at Lakeland Christian and then went out to eat at Carrabba's. (Thanks to our gracious booster club!)

This is one of those funny stories (which probably won't be near as funny to you:) but... Our Athletic director ordered us Calamari for an appatizer because most of us had never tried it and he said that we had to try it. Well when it came out some of them still had the little 'tentacles' and you could see them through the fried outside. So BB refused to try it and so Tierra stuck it in front of her face and so I took a picture! (it was kind of planned) :)

Coming back from dinner Alexa decided to try and be funny. So she layed under the seats and slid under to the big group in the back and kept tickling BB's leg with a piece of paper. All of a sudden BB stands up and says 'There are bugs in here!' All of us up in the front of the bus knew what Alexa was doing so we just laughed, but they never saw her. So she moved on to another girl and when she felt it she said 'Yeah B! There are bugs in here! I can feel them on my legs!' We all just laughed when they finally saw that it was Alexa! :)

Taylor finally figured it out!!!

This morning we got up and went to breakfast before we headed to the Lakeland Center.

T and I walking back to the locker room before the game! I was kind of excited and cut half of her off... Oopps!!!Krystal and I--She's going to Duke! :) :) :)

We had 5 buses of students from the high school come to the game and there were also alot of students from middle school and lower school, too that rode with their parents. Plus there were family members, friends, and just people who wanted to come and watch us! I think this year was the most people we've ever had come! It was great!During the game before ours some of our fans came to say hi to us!I took this during the game before ours! There were more people than this during our game!After the game there was a press conference that Krystal, Lex, Erin, and I had to go too. That was fun, I'd never been to one before and it was really fun!Krystal, Me, Erin and Lex waiting outside until the other team was done.

Well that's all I have for now, but STAYED TUNED because I'll be posting more after Saturday!Saturday's game is at 12 against North Florida Christian, who we played last year in the final.We are going back up to Lakeland tomorrow for Erin's shooting competetion. She was 4 for 5 today in the game, and she hit all 4 of her 3's all in a row in the 1st 4 minutes!

We are leaving for Lakeland today at 12:30. I can't wait for our game tomorrow! It is the best feeling to run out from behind the curtain and see almost our whole school with signs and t-shirts for us. I love it!

Friday Erin will be shooting in the State 3 point competition, I think she is going win it! :) Go Erin!

We Won! :) Last night we beat Community school 53 to 26 in the Regional Final. Which means... WE'RE GOING BACK TO LAKELAND!!!!! :)

It is a tradition to cut down the net after a victory in the region final game. We had to wait until all the community school people were out of the gym to start cutting it down. Players, managers, our trainer, and the coaches all get to cut a piece of the net off to keep.

Apparently, it takes alot of concentration :)Mommy got to cut off a piece, too!

Audrey with all of us Seniors!

We will be playing Thursday morning at 11:30 at the Lakeland Center against Ponce de Leon. Also, Erin Knight qualified for the state 3-point competition, which is on Friday afternoon.

This season is coming to an end! Wow it's gone so fast! There are 3 games left, but we are only guaranteed 1. Tonight we play for the Regional final at home vs The Community School of Naples. It should be a pretty good game. We played them 2 years ago in the regional final and only won by 3! If we win tonight we will be headed back to State! :) It will also be the Seniors last home game. This is the last night I'll ever play a game on my home floor again, so hopefully we can go out with a win!

"During the season, your team should be led with exuberance and excitement. You should live the journey. You should live it right. You should live it together. You should live it shared. You should try to make one another better. You should get on one another if somebody’s not doing their part. You should hug one another when they are. You should be disappointed in a loss and exhilarated in a win. It’s all about the journey."Coach K--Duke University Men's Basketball Coach
